When the program is readily compiled, it is time to install the binaries on your system.
For that gain root access (or use “sudo”) and type “make install“.

Running GoAccess

Once you are done installing you can start the program by typing in “goaccess” on the command prompt and pressing enter. If you don’t add any command line options, GoAccess will print a few lines of help text.

GoAccess - 0.3.3
Usage: goaccess [ -b ][ -s ][ -e IP_ADDRESS][ -f log_file ]
The following options can also be supplied to the command:
-f - Path to input log
-b - Enable total bandwidth consumption. To achieve
faster parsing, do not enable this flag.
-s - Enable/report HTTP status codes. To avoid overhead
while parsing, this has been disabled by default.
-e - Exclude an IP from being counted under the HOST
module. This has been disabled by default.

If you want all the features you can start it with:

goaccess -b -s -f /var/log/apache/access.log

Give it some time to parse the logfile (could take a very long time, depending on your logfile size), then you should see the mainscreen with live updating data and can start to use GoAccess.
